[quote author=firsttymum post=40985858] I tried to reply but donno why it doesn't go o. It keeps failing.

Yea i guess mine shouldnt have taken more than 2weeks if something is not wrong. I didn't bother contacting them cos of the too many holidays within that period, but now I guess it's something to be worried about. If u can assist me with the right number to call I won't mind, cos I've tried calling one number like that n they redirected me to the wrong depth. No i didnt stay with anyone, i used Pampered Stay n its their Mailing address i used as well. Thanks n how's ur LO doing?

Hello fellow mothers, I have been able to learn a whole lot as I plan for the trip ahead. I will be going to Houston via Delta airlines and so it is a connecting flight. Please I will like to know how and when you apply for the wheelchair services as I may need it as I am quite heavy already.
I will really appreciate your reply and congrats to all the new mamas.

U ll request at the airport, during check in.

Just as I said earlier, I wasn't that worried cos of the holidays within this period, as that was the excuse the people that took my baby's picture (mum360 or wateva they're called) gave me when I complained about their delay in delivery. Thanks anyway, will get back to the house once it's sorted.

It won't enter voice mail. We gave birth at about the same period.. I'm surprised yours hasn't come.

Will search for that paper I was given at d Hospital. It had d numbers. I hope I'm correct.
Have u tried d numbers favoredgal dropped?

Call them asap.
Am not sure about being present to reapply but I think that should be the case cos you probably will fill and sign the documents for application. My friend went there in person to reapply.
If you can't get it now, then you can always do that when next you enter US.

Hello NL,

So i came in into the US on monday. My flight was smooth until i started have contractions 3hrs to landing.am not even close to due. I was pratically in distress. I prayed my way through. Prophesying and talking to my LO not too disgrace me..lol. i made sure i was composed n didnt alert d flight attendants.i will forever be grateful to God for d miracle

I used wheel chair so it was pretty easy on landing. My poe was a breeze all the docs i carried was nt even checked.i was just told to makesure i paid my bills. I had to go straight to the hospital. I used grady. I was treated for dyhradation even though i had gallons of water on board,stress and preterm labour. I spent d day at d hospital where d contraction was stopped n dy subjected me to numerous tests. I kept wondering if was for free. Baby has behaved.we are both fine.

I await my bill for this treatment. God ia able.

Wish you all those coming in safe n uneventful flights and everyone healthy and fullterm babies.


Hello Olagirl please what is the total price you have gotten from Grady as I plan to use them too and which doctor are you using? Thanks

You are right... Sometimes your mode of communication matters alot. If you don't have additional information about the question asked just stick to yes or No answers. It helps alot.

I think @ the bold could ve logically struck the VO that u planned and is reciting a typical medical visa interview session.
This they most probably put as a suffix for misrepresentation which further is a red flag for denial.
U could reapply again n be str8 n simple this tyme.. plus try both be in sync. ..
Good luck

If u read my own interview story u will see that any question can be asked imagine d v.o asking where DH nd I met. It's not part of medical questions buh we answered with a cute smile on our faces because of white paper. Lolz it's well dear just keep refreshing the page to reapply. Affliction will not rise the second time. And pray more fervently because thatz d key.

Immediately i got the SSN letter i headed to bank of America to open accounts for the twins...heard about a saving account under the minors act ...that requires only SSN then me as the custodian and twins as beneficiaries it requires $25 to open but if balance is less than $300 it attracts charges of $5 per month....na him i kuku open an with $300 each...

@ hellomosquito you mean after reading part1-3 of this thread,asked questions,probably made payments to get Dr documents,hubby come fall your hand.
Ha I pray that the VO no resemble me walai cos i will just put red flag in the system,case closed.I worked in personnel so when I come across pple like your hubby(basketball size ego on their head and shoulder) he better be highly connected otherwise apologise or just jejely go to another state/branch chikena.
Firstly the VO is not his uncle's wife or cousins best friend sister undecided and US visa is not naija national cake that has a sharing ratio grin.The VO can basically phyco-analyse(too much CSI series grin) his ass across that window because they are well trained for the job and not because Obama is their uncle undecided
Thank God he is not my hubby because I will serve him his favourite food he will put hand he won't be able to eat sef after I have read a few chapters from the story of his life for him.
This reminds of my last visa interview in 2011,Danjuma's wife(serving Senator then and seasoned traveller) was in our front and this mean VO started with her, she has to explain why only one kid travelled with her (na there I know sey all her kids be UK citizens),what she did in Washington for one week,why she is using her hubby account and she is a director in the oil coy cry.Thank God she wasn't empty headed and in a cool and collected manner answered all his questions with a smile on her face,immediately I stand up go piss begin pray for toilet.
Me wey dey form confidence before as na my 2nd renewal cry
When it's our turn(hubby,me,daughter).I was pregnant,didn't go with any doctor's correspondence,budget sheet,etc just normal documents.
VO:good morning
Us:good morning
VO:he just face me,you are pregnant?
Me:Yes
VO:do you plan to have this baby in the US?
Me:I smiled and looked at hubby, hubby said I don't know because it took us a while to get pregnant again(8yrs) and I can't leave her for too long.
VO:He smiled and said let's take a proactive approach,took our passports,gave us a white A4 paper with some written info on it and said come back anytime b4 2pm Mon-Thursday with Dr correspondence and financials to show ability that you can pay then you can pick your passports. shocked
Well we re-strategise,did the needful and went back in 2 weeks with d paper,got to the gate around 11am.The security called someone inside,got in,the same VO came out,key the Dr info into the system,check only my hubby account statement and gave us our passports with visa inside.
POE; Got to Detroit, the man just checked the system,said i can see the embassy is aware that you are giving birth,scan our fingers,asked how far along I was and said enjoy your stay.no secondary screening blah blah.
Moreover in this forum,some were rejected and was brave enough to go back 2/3 times and got it even the current VO could see in the system that they were rejected before and asked them why.
